Hold Tight confirms Christopher Bram's status as one of the outstanding gay novelists of our time. Erotic, romantic, and suspenseful, this wholly original story is a thriller set in a homosexual brothel in 1942 New York City.
HOLD TIGHT caught my attention because I thought it satire, but after reading the book I found myself amused, touched and, yes, aroused. Bram's descriptions of NYC during WWII are particularily vivid, and his use of character is just as strong. I defy any hot-blooded homo not to be deeply aroused by the sex, including antiquated cruising on 42nd Street. This book reminded me a bit of Susan Isaac's great novel SHINING THROUGH, providing a unique take on the WWII novel.
